Dear First Grade Families,
While you are home for an extended period of time, we have put together some resources, both online and paper and pencil for students to do. Please know these are not mandatory for students to complete. However, we feel it is important to keep our students engaged in learning during this time. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your child’s classroom teacher.
Below is a suggested daily schedule to help keep routines at home.
Here are the online resources that can be used along with suggestions on working with your child at home:

Writing Ideas | Narrative writing (Seed Story) Write about a topic of interest. Writing should include a clear beginning, middle, and end. Remember to use finger spaces, capitals, punctuation and transition words. How-to Writing: Explain how to do something: make a sandwich, clean your room, play a game, etc. Be sure to include transition words such as first, then, next, last. Opinion Writing: Write about something you like or don’t like. Use words such as I like, I don’t like, My favorite, I think, I feel and then support your opinion using the word because. |
